[by the way, this is by me, The heading was on Autocomplete and I didn't realize that FireOz was still on there]

[sorry about the lateness. Xmas and New Years for me, and probably most people, is a very busy and heavy time for me. I'm surprised I got it done at all really. But here you are, I hope you can scan it quickly and in time. I've already celebrated New Years a couple of hours ago, so I don't know if you have already but Happy New Years !!! and enjoy]

-Every person has their own way of shooting, according to their personality
-I think Momoharu-kun's form is very beautiful, not rough at all

-I don't have anything specific to teach you...
-Coz it'd be useless

-...
*Do it and see for yourself*
SFX: Shoot
-See, it's not going in is it

-Just lousy
-Is there a knack of getting it in?

-A knack?
SFX: Bounce
-For example,
When you shoot, is there anything to look out for?

-I always
-Shoot the ball "In order for the ball to go in"



Page 8

-Would you like a slice of death? Ah!?
-No, it's just that with this you've got the proper basics, right

-I was just passing through
*Gefuh*
-What are you looking at?

-Ah
-Am I interrupting

-You're not interrupting at all
SFX: Smile
-You're a nuisance!!
-Since when did they become friends...

-Howachaaa!!
-His form is so poor
*"In order to put the ball in" huh*

*So deep...*



Page 9 [T/L: Please get this page checked, I'm not sure about some of the Japanese grammar]

-Eeeh.. do you play in a girl's match

-You know, there actually was a match that I applied for
-It was somehow unavailable. Seems like I got the wrong idea, It feels like Sensei turned it down.

-It's because

-"Maru High" is a Boy's School

-Momoharu-kun
-There's no doubt about it, those guys...

-Ah.. so it was an offer from those boys after all
-What should we do? If we play, it looks like we'd have to ask Sensei for a favour



Page 10

-WHAT!?
-Practice with Maru High, are you trying to pick a fight with us!?

-Even though you say it's a fight, it's a basketball match
-Basketball is a form of fighting isn't it?
-No, basketball is a form of basketball

-It seems like we'll have to properly request for an advisor
-Well, I don't know what kind of basketball club they have but

-When those guys come back
*It will be really embarrassing to fail...!!* [T/L: This is a literal translation. Feel free to fine tune it in proofing.]
-They might want to tie up some unfinished business
*They overdid it a little bit, didn't they*

-Pointing at us and laughing like that
-...

-It's obvious that in your present condition, a match might be impossible for you guys

-Those guys knew that, that's why they applied for this match to go forward



Page 11

-So if that's the case then I
SFX: Snap
-I'm not going to run away like a coward

-...

-What'll you guys do?
-It's not like you're obligated to do anything

-Al...Alright...

-Let's show those guys, ey
-"Our basketball"!!



Page 12

-While pretending to steal the ball, a Mongolian Chop!
-That hurt
SFX: Chop

-While pretending to do a Dunk Smash, the heel slips!!
SFX: Heel slips
-Gyafun [T/L: Feel free to elaborate and change the words, I'm not creative in that area, he's just getting bashed up and makes sounds based on that, I'm just doing literal translations]

-And while pretending to do a foul
SFX: Kick
-Guhaah
-Rotating back kick!!!

-How's that!?
SFX: Bam
-That's all we've got for now
-...
-Are you guys a bunch of idiots

SFX: Bounce

-...



Page 13

-Yasuhara-san, could you lower your hips a little more please!
SFX: Bounce Bounce Bounce
-Shut up shrimp, I don't need to be given instructions!!
-Well whatever but, what's with those hands?
Is it "Aheen" or "Aheen"? [T/L: I think they're doing hand movements and making sounds to gesture them]
-It's to cover your defence! Keep your eyes in front of you!

-What's with that?
-That's not even a little funny anymore...

-Ah
SFX: Hit with ball

-No way
SFX: Sniggering
-We shouldn't be laughing...

-Um about that, it's ok to take it easy but
-You should do it properly

-...Huh

-Eh?



Page 14

-We're not playing
SFX: Bounce

SFX: Gakon
-...

-Well... I guess it's impossible for the basics
-The match is next week isn't it? They won't be good enough in time

-Well I don't really know about Yasu and the guys' feelings about it, but
*Me as well, since a long time ago. Aah just a bit*

-Do you think we would be better off looking for some other guys?



Page 15

SFX: Grabs ball
-Also, other than you, a freshman, guys who can definitely play basketball would be good...

-Those guys were the ones who provoked them. Coming up with a team...
SFX: Shoot
-That's just impossible

-It was us that started this fight
-So we're the only ones that can fight this battle!!

SFX: Miss
-...

-Please Waiiiit
-...Bastard

-Hauh
SFX: Ball spinning
SFX: Rolling on the floor
*Feeble, yet*
*Remarkably resilient, isn't he...!!*



Page 16

-Thank you very much
SFX: Yatsui Sports Shop

SFX: Carry
-Alright

-Now to just somehow be able to shoot
-New basketball shoes? Momoharu

-Chiaki...
-Lately your behaviour is

-As a matter of fact, I can understand

-I have a few questions about you
-What is it?

-First is...



Page 17

-We get the same allowance, so how were you able to buy such an expensive thing?
*Oniichan, I only have 61 Yen left*
-I'm different from you, I'm a very thrifty person

-Well it doesn't matter...
-Then my second question is

-Now, after such a long time
-Why basketball?
SFX: Caw

-To never again have those thoughts anymore
SFX: Caw
-Did you not make any preparations?

-...

-I've said it before as well, it's impossible for me without a trainer. If it wasn't for eating pastries, it would be early to bed early to rise. If I didn't pick up things to eat, I wouldn't be able to sleep naked [T/L: I don't really understand what he's trying to say, he likes to put things in weird contexts]
-Well anyway, you'll have 20 years of long life



Page 18

-A long life huh
-It's not bad if I just have one more experience

-Would you have rather I died before!?
When I die, it'll be together with you!!
*Don't talk about such sad things*
-Well, I'm sorry you feel that way

-It's true
-That shrimp's expectations and hopes

-Coz he's with us
-For a long time now, basketball hasn't been as interesting

-...



Page 19

-Please!!
-Please play basketball with us!!

-We don't wanna do wat we don't wanna do, and that's you bossin' us around
-That kind of...
-Cut it out already. You should give up already, shrimp!!

-Even Momoharu-kun is willing to do it
-Momoharu is a completely different matter!!

-Well then...
-What exactly are your complaints about it?

-...

-Then I'll clean the club room again!
I'll go and buy some buns!!
And then, and then
-That's not it...



Page 20

-In front of the girls
-Lets see you go round one block playing basketball without your pants?

-Wha...
SFX: Gyahahahaha
-If I do that will you play basketball no matter what!?



Page 21

SFX: Squeak

-Alright
-It's a good feeling...

-Whoa, did Momoharu-kun buy a new pair of basketball shoes?
SFX: Squeak
-Oh, this isn't for the gymnasium after all [T/L: Not sure about this line or who speaks it]

-Your passing is too slow
Make it go higher

-Oi oi... such messed up screaming and yelling and getting fired up

-Well then, I'll get fired up too
-...Man, that was fast

-..



Page 22

SFX: EMBARRASSED

-AHHHHHHHHHH!!! [T/L: Actually says NOOOOO, but AHHHH sounds better]

*What in the world did i just...*
*What is he hoping to do?*

-Kyaaaah!! Over here!!!
*For now, can't turn her eyes away*
-...

-He...
-He took off his pants...
SFX: Aaah

SFX: Stops

Page 23

-It's a promise
SFX: Flushed
-So you better keep to it, ok

-O...
SFX: Small...
SFX: Tiny...
-Ok...

-Kyaaaaah!!
-...
*Um, maybe*
*It's nothing worth worrying about*

-This seems to be rather interesting
*His body and his heart has been unleashed, to the sky*



Page 24

-Kurumatani-san
-Is still a child so, I'm sending him a message
*Ahiru no Sora*

-I'm sorry for always doing this
-You mentioned Sora-kun passed the exam for the high school near here, didn't you?
You must be so glad...

-From now on, I'll be able to see him anytime
*Mum, are you feeling better?*

*I got into high school really quickly, within 1 week too*
*You know, I have 2 things that I'm happy about today*

*One is*
*I grew 0.02 mm in height...*
-...

*And second is*
*I'm going to play in a basketball match!!*
